MARJORIE (Spoken): 
Hello. Oh, it's you. 
I thought I told you never to call me again.
You are not coming over here.
Don't be surprised if I'm not in.
Well, alright, darling, see you soon. Bye now.

I say I'll never see you
We always have a fight
And then you call, and then I fall
It happens ev'ry night

You shouldn't sit beside me
You shouldn't dim the light
I'll hate myself in the mornin'
For loving you tonight

Why do you upset me
Is it just for spite
I'm mad about a gaddabout
Who never treats me right

I shouldn't let you kiss me
You shouldn't hold me tight
I'll hate myself in the mornin'
For loving you tonight

(Orchestral Break)

(Knocking sound)

SPOKEN: 
MH: Who's there?
GL: Hi honey, I'm sorry I blew up.
MH: Oh, I'm so glad you came back.
GL: Gee, baby, let's not fight anymore, umm?
MH: All right, darling, I'm sorry, it was my fault.
GL: No, it wasn't either. It was my fault.
MH: I said it was my fault!
GL: Oh, here we go again. No fighting, remember.
MH: Okay. No fighting.

MARJORIE:
Well, why do you upset me
Is it just for spite
GREGG:
I'm mad about a gaddabout
Who never treats me right

MARJORIE:
I shouldn't let you kiss me
GREGG:
I shouldn't hold you tight
BOTH:
I'll hate myself in the mornin'
But, oh, what fun tonight

MARJORIE: Goodnight
GREGG: Goodnight
